His Little Mystery

23

A week later.

I go downstairs, having an off feeling. Bree is hunting with Emmett. Jasper and Alice are out. Carlisle is at the hospital, and Esme is at the mall. I grab the phone and dial a number to check in.

"Esmerelda...." Bella gasps right as Carlisle arrives home. "Es, I swear something just moved inside of me!"

"Bella?" Carlisle says as he snatches the phone out of my hand. "What's going on?"

"Carlisle, is it normal for vampires to go into shock?" Bella asks.

"Carlisle, please tell me this is impossible!" Edward demands.

"Get home as soon as you can." Carlisle says. "Good thin aro left." Carlisle hands up and hands me the phone back. "Just great. You okay?"

I nod, tensely. "I-I'm Fine.... At least until she gives birth."

"How do you know she'll keep it?" Carlisle asks.

"I don't, but I know Bella." I say. "She wants changed... And she's always wanted a child."

Bree walks in with Emmett. "Hey mom."

"Guys, call everyone home." Carlisle says after I greet Bree. "I have some news."

Bella is terrified, Edward is tense, and Carlisle is timid. Edward and Bella got home a little over an hour ago. Emmett and Bree are sitting on either side of me, keeping me calm. I have my father's temper, so I have to stay calm.

"Oh god..." I whimper. "Jacob.... Hw will be so upset."

"You can't tell him!" Bella pleads.

"I know that, Isabella." I growl. "But you can't hide this forever! Jacob will find out you're back from your honeymoon early. He WILL find out about this pregnancy. Do you remember me? I was born a hybrid, my mom died, and now I'm a vampire."

"I... I forgot about your story, Esmerelda." Bella frowns. "Sorry."

I flash outside, unable it stand it anymore. I put up a mind shield so Edward cannot read my thoughts, and I violently punch a tree.

"Mom..." I hear Bree say. "It'll be okay."

"Bella won't survive." I say.

"They are all aware." Bree says. "Edward will change her as soon as her heart stops. You know that."

I turn and I face Bree with soft eyes. "Let's hunt. I want bronze eyes."

After my hunt with Bree and i am calm, we go back to the house. Bella smiles at my return and Emmett kisses me softly. Bree smiles at us before Carlisle snaps a photo of the three of us.

"Need a picture of some other Cullen's." Carlisle comment with a smug smirk.

I look at Bella. "I don't know if I'll be in the house when you have the hybrid. Your blood will be too much, I won't be able to control myself."

"At least you're honest," Bella sighs. "To be honest, I'm terrified."

"I say my mother was, too." I say. "She was Aro's final love. He met her after his mate died. She was beautiful. Saw her face in his mind, hence I have his ability. She died after delivering me... Charlie and Renée adopted me from there, five days after our birthdays."

"How do you know all of that?" Bella asks.

"Charlie told me about my mom dying at birth and him adopting me." I say. "Aro told me the rest."

"You'll support me, no matter my decision?" Bella asks.

"As long as you stop denying me as your sister." I say. "We are both Cullen's, after all."

"You have a kid, and I'm about to." Bella smiles. "Hi Bree, I'm aunt Bella."

"Your sisters again?" Bree squeals. "About time, Bella!"

Bree hugs Bella before she goes upstairs. Emmett wraps his arms around me as Edward begins to pace. He is beginning to get worried. He will end up worrying to death, if he isn't careful.

"Emmett, let's go watch movies with Bree in the bedroom." I say before we flash upstairs, to find Bree putting a movie in.

Emmett and I lay side by side, and Bree lays by my side. Emmett presses play on the movie of choice, and we all bond for the night.
